║ ║
║ Imagine the slithery nature of Spawn Of Possession or Gorod meeting ║
║ the brutality and heft of Beneath The Massacre, with the end result ║
║ getting a hefty injection of melody, and you would arrive at the ║
║ sound of Primordium. Primordium are a new upstart technical death ║
║ metal group from Indianapolis, Indiana and Aeonian Obsolescence is ║
║ their very first release as a band. ║
║ ║
║ Islander premiered ôThe Incursionö not too long ago, and it was a ║
║ dizzying introduction for those new to the band. While the release ║
║ of this EP was shifted a few weeks back, it will finally be out ║
║ this Friday and damn if it isnÆt a killer release full of bestial ║
║ cavernous growls, relentless rampaging hatred, classically ║
║ influenced orchestral moments and some neo-classical leads, and ║
║ catchy melodies with the occasional jazzy flamenco snippets hidden ║
║ within. ║
║ ║
║ While ôIntroö appears at first to be a simple strings-and-keys ║
║ opening track, lumbering death metal riffs and pummeling drums ║
║ enter the frame, truly offering an introduction to whatÆs coming. ║
║ Track two, ôThe Process Of Becomingö, sets things in lightspeed ║
║ motion, flashing a fluid sense of melody out across a caustic ║
║ backdrop of carefully orchestrated death. But despite the ║
║ head-spinning bet of ôThe Process Of Becomingö is, track three ôThe ║
║ Opaque Semblanceö ups the ante, uprooting your head completely ║
║ instead of merely spinning it around like a cat with yarn. ║
║ ║
║ The next track is the one they premiered ahead of this release, ║
║ ôThe Incursionö, and it offers a suffocating atmosphere in spades ║
║ along with a dive into a strings-and-keyboard outro. Next, the ║
║ explosive mania of ôEsoteric Purificationö takes hold with a ║
║ noxious grip, consisting of a tremendous number of quality slicing ║
║ riffs and rapid-fire drum bursts of a highly explosive nature. ║
║ ║
║ The EP ends on an instrumental note with the title track, ôAeonian ║
║ Obsolescenceö, a composition that sees the band taking a somewhat ║
║ proggier approach in the second half after a blazing opening, and ║
║ one that also allows the bass some audible space in which to shine ║
║ brightly as well. ║
║ ║
║ Primordium have shown themselves to be a quite engaging act, ║
║ expertly mixing acrobatic finesse with racing brutality. In a mere ║
║ six songs, Primordium have released a highly impressive ║
║ introduction to themselves on Aeonian Obsolescence that surpasses ║
║ the quality and replay factor of many a full-length album dragged ║
║ down by filler. Big things come in small packages indeed. ║
║ ║
║ For fans of Deeds of Flesh, Obscura and The Faceless. ║
